The cottage was beautifully clean furniture a bit old fashioned but comfortable enough. Ideal location and the biggest bonus was the garden leading into the wood trails which the dog had the greatest time exploring. We had a little problem on arrival which was handled and solved very timely by call handler at cottages.com, sorry forgot his name but he helped us tremendously.
